aww, you are not that bad. Got most of my stuff today so in good shape (I think) for the coming weekend. Also got myslef a Magnaclean filter too :D . It was on ebay for £55 plus p&p - works out at £65. I guess that's a garbain. Will post back how I get on.

The green crust is not coming from the joint with the pump, but the tap valve above it. Whilst I am at it, should I service this tap too? Sounds a bit strange thro' - having to service a tap. I am also cosnidering whether to have Magnaclean installed whilst I have the system dry. Does anyone...

Is the pump up side down? The lteer on the pumps "right way up" and I can't recvall whether there was dirctional arrow to indicate flow direction but I ma pretty sure I put it in correctly (it was a replacement for the original Grunfos which failed a couple of years ago). Icidentally, there...

Wow John Are you sure this is do-able for a normal (albeit sensible) householder? It soounds well complicated ! I will give this a try (when I have gathered enough courage). In the meantime there is no immediate danger of anytning more serious than the overflowing pipes?

Hi hi-spec plumbing heating There is only one small tank up in the loft (at the highest point) whic is overflowing. I read through the thread as Ratter suggested, and also done some searching of old threads. Unfortunately it is not making too much sense just yet. This is what I can...

So, finally solved. Following ChrisR's advice, I called up Stuart Turner for some help. They were brilliant with helping to diagnose the problems and suggested that I go back and electrically trigger the pump (by connecting the 2x S1 terminals together ( or 2x S2, etc) = equivalent to using...

Hi ya all Well, tried the magnet thing with the flow-switch - there is no reaction at all with the pump although the pump did work for a minute or two on first switch on this time. I suspect the filter is probably OK as the watre flows fine when switched on. Any other suggestions? HQ

Hi Softus The pump is a Moonsoon 3bar Twin model. Where can I locate the flow-switch and what shold I be looking for? Thanks HQ

Hi All Pls be gentle with me - a newbie here but a keen DIY'er and hope to share my passion with similar minded enthusiasts. I used other forums quite a lot (bikes, cars, PSP, etc) but never thought there would be one about DIY - duh. If anything can be more conductive to forum discussion...
